Certainly not a red CENT, just a regular circulated 1978 cent that is worth 1cent.  
There were over 5 1/2 Billion minted at the Philadelphia mint alone so not rare.

I hope you realize that it would cost $55-60.00 to have that graded and the value would be nowhere near that.  
Put it in a 2x2 or a flip and add to your collection as a minor grease filled die.

What would make you think a damaged and worn regular quarter is worth more than face value?

Hard to help unless you state what you need help with.  
Most of us aren’t very good guessers.

Don’t think so, it looks more like a worn cent.

Copper can change many colours depending on the environment it was exposed to.  
It can also be the result of being cleaned.

Don’t know why you want  it to look shiny, it is a worn coin and looks like it should.  
Making it shiny would make it look unnatural and devaluate it. Save shiny for uncirculated coins.

Sorry but that is not the1958 DD-001 listed on Variety Vista.  
There is distinct North South Doubling that does not show on your cent.
There may be some MD but hard to tell from photo.
 

Looks like letters have taken a hit flattening them.  
Minor anomolies like this are hardly worth looking at.  
You shouldn’t have to magnify a coin to spot a true error.
If you are looking for errors, study a site such as error-ref.com   
to see what major errors are about.

 

Welcome to the forum
Not an error, it is damage probably caused by a hit.  
There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin.

It is an error coin, not a rare coin and certainly not something I would spend $3000.00 on.

Suggest for awhile that you post a clear photo of each coin that you think is worth submitting and we have many knowledgeable people on here you can tell you if it is worth the cost or not to have graded.
So many new collectors get damage and anomalies mixed up with true errors which are extremely hard to find in the wild and they want to submit them for grading which is just a waste of money. It can only be an error if it happens during the striking of the coin, anything that happens after that it’s is damage which in 99% of the time is the case.
Look at this site to see what actual errors are and see if you have anything that looks like them.  error-ref.com
